Risc Cisc
CISC was developed to make compiler development easier and simpler. The
full form of CISC is Complex Instruction Set Computer. They are chips that are
easy to program that makes efficient use of memory.
What is RISC?
RISC is designed to perform a smaller number of types of computer
instruction. Hence, it can operate at a higher speed. The full form of RISC is
Reduced Instruction Set Computers. It is a microprocessor that is designed to
perform smaller number of computer instruction so that it can operate at a
higher speed.
Characteristics of CISC
Here, are important characteristics Of CISC
Characteristics of RISC
Here, are an important characteristic of RICS:
CISC RISC
It has a microprogramming unit. It has a hard-wired unit of
programming.
The instruction set has various The instruction set is reduced, and
different instructions that can be most of these instructions are very
used for complex operations. primitive.
They are mostly less or not pipelined This type of processors are highly

Heavy use of RAM (can cause More efficient use of RAM than RISC
